蛋白激酶C对大鼠缺血海马突触体谷氨酸摄取的调控作用

采用大鼠海马脑片体外缺血模型,观察海马突触体内蛋白激酶Ｃ（ＰＫＣ）活性的变化,以及这种变化对突触体谷氨酸（ＧＬＵ）摄取的影响。结果显示：海马脑片体外“缺血”１０ｍｉｎ,其突触体内ＰＫＣ活性基本不变,而缺血３０ｍｉｎ,突触体内ＰＫＣ活性显著上升（Ｐ＜０．０１,ｎ＝６）;非Ｎ－甲基－Ｄ－天门冬氨酸（ＮＭＤＡ）受体拮抗剂ＤＮＱＸ有效地抑制ＰＫＣ活性的同时,可降低胞外ＧＬＵ的堆积,而ＮＭＤＡ受体阻断剂ＡＰ＿５无作用。进一步实验证明,ＰＫＣ激动剂ＰＤＢ浓度依赖性地抑制突触体对３Ｈ－ＧＬＵ的摄取（ＩＣ５０＝１３１±１０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）,此抑制作用可由ＰＫＣ抑制剂Ｈ－７（１００μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）抵消。提示脑缺血诱发ＧＬＵ堆积的作用机理可能是：脑缺血引发钙内流导致ＧＬＵ过量释放,ＧＬＵ又通过突触前非ＮＭＤＡ受体激活ＰＫＣ,抑制其自身摄取,正反馈性加重胞外ＧＬＵ的堆积。

Acute and conditioned hypoxic tolerance augmented by endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibition in mice.

To identify a possible role for nitric oxide (NO) in acute hypoxic tolerance (HT) we measured hypoxic survival time (HST), effect of hypoxic conditioning (HC), and survival following hypoxic conditioning while blocking or mimicking the action of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). To inhibit NOS, CD-1 mice were given supplemental endogenous NOS inhibitor asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) or a synthetic NOS inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), both of which nonselectively inhibit three of the isoforms of NOS [inducible (iNOS), neuronal (nNOS), and endothelial NOS (eNOS)]. ADMA (10 mg/kg i.p.) or saline vehicle was given 5 min before HST testing. L-NNA was given orally at 1 g/l in drinking water with tap water as the control for 48 h before testing. Both ADMA and L-NNA significantly increased HST and augmented the HC effect on HST. Neither the nNOS selective inhibitor 7-nitroindazole (7-NI) nor the iNOS selective inhibitor N-{[3-(aminomethyl)phenyl]methyl}-enthanimidamide (1400W) had a statistically significant effect on HST or HT. The NO donor, 3-morpholinosydnoeimine, when given alone did not significantly decrease HT, but it did mitigate the increased HT effect of L-NNA. These data confirm that acute hypoxic conditioning increases HT and that NOS inhibition by endogenous (ADMA) and a synthetic NOS inhibitor (L-NNA) further increases HT, whereas iNOS and nNOS inhibition does not, suggesting that it is the inhibition of eNOS that mediates enhancement of HT.     

A novel nitric oxide biosensor based on electropolymerization poly(toluidine blue) film electrode and its application to nitric oxide released in liver homogenate

A novel poly(toluidine blue)-modified electrode has been constructed for the determination of nitric oxide in biological sample. The electrochemical behavior of poly(toluidine blue) film electrode and its electrocatalytic activity toward NO were studied in detail by cyclic voltammetry. Possible interferences were tested and evaluated after further coated with Nafion. The poly(toluidine blue) and Nafion composite film-modified electrode exhibits a good linear relationship over a NO concentration of 1.8 x 10(-7) to 8.6 x 10(-5)mol/L, and the detection limit is 1.8 x 10(-8)mol/L (S/N=3). NO release from the rat liver homogenate stimulated by l-arginine was studied, and the responses were decreased by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine.     

脂多糖对离体培养大鼠血管平滑肌细胞增殖的影响

本研究观察到１０－７～１０－５ｋｇ／Ｌ脂多糖（ｌｉｐｏｐｏｌｙｓａｃｈａｒｉｄｅ,ＬＰＳ）可显著促进血管平滑肌细胞（ＶＳＭＣ）的增殖及ＤＮＡ的合成（Ｐ＜００５）。５×１０－４～１０－３ｋｇ／ＬＬＰＳ却抑制ＶＳＭＣ的增殖及ＤＮＡ的合成,降低其活力（Ｐ＜００１）,并呈时间依赖效应。一氧化氮合酶抑制剂ＮＮｉｔｒｏＬＡｒｇｉｎｉｎｅ（ＬＮＮＡ）可拮抗ＬＰＳ的抑制作用。大剂量ＬＰＳ作用组ＶＳＭＣ上清液中一氧化氮（ＮＯ）代谢产物ＮＯ－３和ＮＯ－２的含量与对照组相比显著增加（Ｐ＜００１）,４８ｈ组比２４ｈ组增加９１％,７２ｈ组比４８ｈ组增加４５％;同时,诱导性一氧化氮合酶（ｉｎｄｕｃｔｉｖｅｎｉｔｒｉｃｏｘｉｄｅｓｙｎｔｈａｓｅ,ｉＮＯＳ）免疫组化染色呈阳性。结果表明,低浓度ＬＰＳ促进ＶＳＭＣ增殖和ＤＮＡ合成,而高浓度ＬＰＳ却明显抑制ＶＳＭＣ增殖和ＤＮＡ合成,降低其活力。这种抑制作用可能与ＬＰＳ诱导ＶＳＭＣ产生的ＮＯ有关。     

Role of nitric oxide in the nicotine-induced pituitary-adrenocortical response.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a major signaling molecule and biological mediator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. We investigated the role of NO formed by endothelial (e), neuronal (n) and inducible (i) nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the stimulatory effect of nicotine on the HPA axis in rats under basal conditions. Also possible interaction of NOS systems with endogenous prostaglandins (PG) in that stimulation was assessed. NOS and cyclooxygenase inhibitors were administered i.p. 15 min prior to nicotine (2, 5 mg/kg i.p.). Plasma ACTH and serum corticosterone levels were measured 1 h after nicotine injection. NOS blockers given alone did not markedly affect the resting ACTH and corticosterone levels. L-NAME (2-10 mg/kg), a broad spectrum NOS inhibitor considerably and dose dependently enhanced the nicotine-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion. L-NNA (2 mg/kg) and 7-nitroindazole (7-NI 20 mg/kg), neuronal NOS inhibitors in vivo also significantly augmented the nicotine-induced ACTH and corticosterone levels. L-arginine greatly impaired the nicotine-induced hormone responses and reversed the L-NNA elicited enhancement of the nicotine-evoked ACTH and corticosterone response. In contrast to the constitutive eNOS and nNOS antagonists, an inducible NOS antagonist guanethidine (50-100 mg/kg i.p.) did not substantially affect the nicotine-elicited pituitary-adrenocortical responses. Indomethacin (2 mg/kg i.p.), a non-selective cyclooxygenase blocker abolished the L-NAME and L-NNA-induced enhancement of the nicotine-evoked ACTH and corticosterone response. These results indicate that NO is an inhibitory mediator in the HPA axis activity. Inhibition of its generation by eNOS and nNOS significantly enhances the nicotine-induced HPA response. Under basal conditions iNOS is not involved in the nicotine-induced ACTH and corticosterone secretion. Prostaglandins play an obligatory role in the response of HPA axis to systemic nicotine administration.     

Nitric oxide inhibits human and canine pulmonary vascular tone via a postjunctional, nonelectromechanical, cGMP-dependent pathway.

We examined nitric oxide mediated regulation of pulmonary arterial and venous smooth muscle (PASM and PVSM, respectively): whether this inhibition is mediated via prejunctional receptors on adrenergic nerve endings; whether NO is neuronally derived; the relationship between degree of inhibition and vessel size; and identification of the signalling mechanisms involved. Canine pulmonary vascular tissues were generally quiescent, while human PASM exhibited spontaneous phasic activity. The nitric oxide (NO) synthesis inhibitor Nomega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA; 10(-4) M) increased tone and enhanced phasic activity. Electrical field stimulation (EFS) evoked contractions were markedly enhanced by L-NNA in an endothelium-dependent fashion, and antagonized by the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP; 10(-7) to 10(-5) M). 8-Bromo-cGMP mimicked the effects of SNAP on basal tone and EFS contractions, while an inhibitor of soluble guanylate cyclase mimicked those of L-NNA. While mechanical responses to exogenously added norepinephrine (10(-9)-10(-4) M) were also enhanced by L-NNA and suppressed by SNAP, EFS-evoked excitatory junction potentials were unaffected by SNAP. We conclude that, in human and canine PASM and PVSM, there is a tonic generation of NO originating within the endothelium that does not mediate a prejunctional effect, but which acts postjunctionally to activate a cGMP-dependent pathway within the smooth muscle.     

NO在CCK—8减轻肿瘤坏死因子诱导兔肺动脉反应性变化中的作用

为探讨八肽胆囊收缩素（CCK－8）缓解内毒素休克时肺动脉高压的作用机制,应用离体血管环张力测定技术及一氧化氮合酶（NOS）检测方法,观察了一氧化氮（NO）在CCK－8减轻肿瘤坏死因子－α（tumor necrosis factor-al-pha,TNF-α）的抑制肺动脉内皮依赖性舒张反应中的作用。结果显示：TNF－α（4000U／ml）孵育2h时,肺动脉对10^-6mol/L苯肾上腺素(phenylephrine,PE）和10^-6mol/L乙酰胆碱（ACh）的收缩反应及内皮依赖性舒张反应均无明显变化。TNF－α孵育7或14h时,肺动脉对10^-6mol/L ACh介导的内皮依赖性舒张反应降低,CCK－8（0.5μg/ml）可逆转TNF－α的上述作用,CCK－8本身对正常肺动脉反应性无明显影响。TNF－α、CCK－8对PE引起的收缩反应无显著影响。L－精氨酸（L－Arg）可使TNF－α7h内皮依赖性舒张作用恢复。氨基胍（AG）不影响各组肺动脉对10^-6mol/L ACh的内皮依赖性舒张反应,而使TNF－α组肺动脉环对10^-6mol/L PE的收缩反应显著增加。L－硝基精氨酸（L－NNA）使各组肺动脉环对10^-6mol/L ACh反应由舒张变为收缩,对10^-6mol/L PE的收缩反应显著增强。检测7h各组NOS活性,TNF－α组、TNF－α＋CCK－8组均较对照组显著增加,CCK－8组与对照组比较无显著差异。上述结果提示,CCK－8可逆转TNF－α对内皮依赖性舒张反应的抑制作用,此作用可能与NO有关。

Nitric oxide modulates sympathoexcitatory cardiac-cardiovascular reflexes elicited by bradykinin

A number of studies have demonstrated an important role for nitric oxide (NO) in central and peripheral neural modulation of sympathetic activity. To assess the interaction and integrative effects of NO release and sympathetic reflex actions, we investigated the influence of inhibition of NO on cardiac-cardiovascular reflexes. In anesthetized, sinoaortic-denervated and vagotomized cats, transient reflex increases in arterial blood pressure (BP) were induced by application of bradykinin (BK, 0.1-10 microg/ml) to the epicardial surface of the heart. The nonspecific NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA, 10 mg/kg iv) was then administered and stimulation was repeated. L-NMMA increased baseline mean arterial pressure (MAP) from 129 +/- 8 to 152 +/- 9 mmHg and enhanced the change in MAP in response to BK from 32 +/- 3 to 39 +/- 5 mmHg (n = 9, P < 0.05). Pulse pressure was significantly enhanced during the reflex response from 6 +/- 4 to 27 +/- 6 mmHg after L-NMMA injection due to relatively greater potentiation of the rise in systolic BP. Both the increase in baseline BP and the enhanced pressor reflex were reversed by L-arginine (30 mg/kg iv). Because L-NMMA can inhibit both brain and endothelial NOS, the effects of 7-nitroindazole (7-NI, 25 mg/kg ip), a selective brain NOS inhibitor, on the BK-induced cardiac-cardiovascular pressor reflex also were examined. In contrast to L-NMMA, we observed significant reduction of the pressor response to BK from 37 +/- 5 to 18 +/- 3 mmHg 30 min after the administration of 7-NI (n = 9, P < 0.05), an effect that was reversed by L-arginine (300 mg/kg iv, n = 7). In a vehicle control group for 7-NI (10 ml of peanut oil ip), the pressor response to BK remained unchanged (n = 6, P > 0.05). In conclusion, neuronal NOS facilitates, whereas endothelial NOS modulates, the excitatory cardiovascular reflex elicited by chemical stimulation of sympathetic cardiac afferents.     

Nitric oxide synthase-inhibition hypertension is associated with altered endothelial cyclooxygenase function

We reported previously that endothelium-intact superior mesenteric arteries (SMA) from N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA)-treated hypertensive rats (LHR) contract more to norepinephrine (NE) than SMA from control rats. Others have shown that nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) inhibition increases cyclooxygenase (COX) function and expression. We hypothesized that augmented vascular sensitivity to NE in LHR arteries is caused by decreased NOS-induced dilation and increased COX product-induced constriction. We observed that the EC50 for NE is lower in LHR SMA compared with control SMA (control -6.37 +/- 0.04, LHR -7.89 +/- 0.09 log mol/l; P <0.05). Endothelium removal lowered the EC50 (control -7.95 +/- 0.11, LHR -8.44 +/- 0.13 log mol/l; P <0.05) and increased maximum tension in control (control 1,036 +/- 38 vs. 893 +/- 21 mg; P <0.05) but not LHR (928 +/- 30 vs. 1,066 +/- 31 mg) SMA. Thus augmented NE sensitivity in LHR SMA depends largely on decreased endothelial dilation. NOS inhibition (L-NNA, 10(-4) mol/l) increased maximum tension and EC50 in control arteries but not in LHR arteries. In contrast, COX inhibition decreased maximum tension in control arteries, suggesting that COX products augment contraction. Indomethacin did not affect NE-induced contraction in L-NNA-treated or denuded arteries. In control SMA loaded with the fluorescent NO indicator 4-amino-5-methylamino-2',7'-difluorofluorescein diacetate, indomethacin increased and L-NNA decreased NO release. Therefore, COX products appear to inhibit NO production to augment NE-induced contraction. With chronic NOS inhibition, this modulating influence is greatly diminished. Thus, in NOS-inhibition hypertension, decreased activity of both COX and NOS pathways profoundly disrupts endothelial modulation of contraction.
